On behalf of LeadsLeap team, I wish all LeadsLeap members a happy and prosperous 2023!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we have a quick update for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a feature request from 2 members, Abdallah and Edward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the request:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m hoping for a way to pass the source in the page ‘Source’ Tracking as a placeholder, say ~source~. <\/p>

For example, I can use https:\/\/lllpg.com\/page1\/~source~<\/em><\/strong> or https:\/\/companydomain.com\/userid?=abc&source=~source~<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

The ~source~ placeholder can then be replaced automatically by the ‘Source’ tracker or the referral domain detected by the page.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Basically, the idea is to pass the traffic ‘source’ as a variable in the Page<\/strong>. This can be done by introducing a placeholder called ~source~. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can place the ~source~ placeholder anywhere in the Page<\/strong>. The system will replace it with the traffic source. If no traffic source is detected, the placeholder will be empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Use?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you go to the Page Builder and add a link, you will see this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It is a reminder to show you how to use the ~source~ placeholder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is an example of how to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Say if the main page<\/span> receives traffic from abc.com, the above link will be shown as https:\/\/lllpg.com\/hn3gsnfm\/abc.com<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the visitor clicks the link, you can track that the traffic comes from abc.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a simple but useful application, especially if the program you are promoting supports source tracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Special Note On Source Tracking For Popup Form<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you add a Popup Form<\/strong> to your Page<\/strong>, please note that the ‘source’ of the Page<\/strong> will automatically be passed on to the Popup Form<\/strong>. You don’t have to do anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The above ~source~ placeholder is only for links and contents of the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another Possible Use Of ~source~<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Say you promote this page https:\/\/lllpg.com\/samplepage\/<\/strong> in 2 traffic networks, Abc.com and Xyz.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use ~source~ in the headline of the page, like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then you can promote the page like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/lllpg.com\/samplepage\/Abc\/<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When shown, the headline will look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you promote in Xyz.com, you can use https:\/\/lllpg.com\/samplepage\/Xyz\/<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The headline will be ‘Attention To All Xyz Members<\/strong>‘.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This way, you can make the landing page more personalized. This will improve the conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, you are tracking the traffic source as Abc and Xyz, killing two birds with one stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But please note that if you were to use it this way, you have to know that it is a ‘garbage in, garbage out’ system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you simply promote https:\/\/lllpg.com\/samplepage\/<\/strong> without any source, the headline will show ‘Attention To All Members<\/strong>‘.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or sometimes, the website that you promote in may add something to the end of your link. This will mess up your headline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are not sure, it’s best to limit the use of ~source~ to link tracking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
